Name of PS3 storage device is renamed to '/dev/ps3daN' from '/dev/sdN' on 2.6.23 kernel. So, name of root device is changed to '/dev/ps3da2'. Did you change name of root device in 'kboot.conf'? You must change name of root device in 'kboot.conf' as follows : | ydl_htlb ='/dev/sda1:/vmlinux-2.6.16_HTLB initrd=/dev/sda1:/initrd-2.6.16_HTLB.img \ | root=/dev/ps3da2 init=/sbin/init video=ps3fb:mode:3 rhgb' Regards. -- Takashi Nakamura<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
